Deoxygenation of microalgal oil obtained by pyrolysis of microalgae was carried out for the production of hydrocarbon fuel from biomass by metal supported catalyst. Oleic acid was used as a model reactant to select an optimized catalyst. Effects of support, metal species, and metal loading on cataly...
